More Train, Less Pain; Engineering the Adaptable Athlete

S3.5E21: Using Cold Plunge/Sauna and Navigating Health Fads


Listen Later

Over the past few years we’ve seen the rise of various internet health personalities- Attia, Huberman, and Rhonda Patrick all come to mind. In a lot of ways, we’re fans. Especially with the ever-declining standard of care for conventional insurance-based medicine in this country, it’s heartening to see so many folks attempting to take matters into their own hands.

Never before has the national discourse actually centered around topics like protein consumption, light exposure, or strength training for longevity. However, these thought leaders have had to learn to play in the medium of the day- namely podcasts, IG content, and YouTube clips that reward sensationalism, quick fixes, and “hacks” over tried and true practices.

Save the carnivore diet, nothing has gotten more play amongst the fitness intelligentsia of late than deliberate extreme temperature exposure, a la cold plunges and saunas.

What’s the deal with these modalities? Are they a flash-in-the-pan fad or facets of an intelligently designed physical practice that will endure the test of time?

For answers to these questions, and more, listen to Tim’s sit down with Sam Leffers, friend of the pod and mental health practitioner extraordinaire, as they dive deep on the research and practical utilization of this type of work.
